Adobe Illustrator Creative Cloud 2017 Express Training

"Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 Express" is 1 day course that covers the Illustrator CC 2017 essentials needed to help you get started with the tool in an effective manner.

This course includes training on the core introductory Illustrator CC 2017 features and provides a quick but thorough understanding of the product. The class material is delivered at a brisk pace but adequate time is provided for students to follow all instructor walkthroughs and complete all hands-on exercises.

NOTE: At NTG, we always try to teach the latest versions of Adobe software. However, if you haven't upgraded yet, you should know that all of our Creative Cloud Illustrator classes cover features that will work in earlier versions of Illustrator (including CS6, CS5.5, and CS5). The instructor will let you know if you are seeing something that is new to Creative Cloud and will refer to prior versions as well.
